Early career

Tunde Victor Ojumu attended St. Patricks Grammar School Orita Basorun, Ibadan, Nigeria. He graduated with a first class B.Sc. Honours in Chemistry from the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Nigeria (former University of Ife) in 1994, after which she worked as a Secondary School teacher during his one-year National service at Akwa-Ibom state, before returning the same institution for his MSc in Chemical Engineering and graduated with distinction in 1999.

Following this he held position as a Research and Development Officer 1 at Engineering Materials Development Institute Akure in Ondo State, where he engaged in materials research. He was awarded a DAAD Third Country Scholarship to study for his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Cape Town, South Africa, which he completed in December 2007 but was awarded in 2008 with his thesis 'The Effects of Solution Conditions on the Kinetics of Microbial Ferrous-Iron Oxidation by Leptospirillum ferriphilum in Continuous Culture '. He joined Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering in 2009 as a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering.

Professional career

In 2009 Tunde was appointed the head of Chemical Engineering programmes, in 2011 as an associate Professor and program head from 2011 to present. In

addition to her academic positions she has worked as Shipboard Sedimentologist on the Ocean Drilling Program (Leg 159 Eastern Equatorial Atlantic Transform Margin) January to February 1995.[5] Amongst other offices she was President Elect, President & Past President of the AASP (The Palynological Society) from 2010 to 2013,[6] Member-at-Large on the Geological Society of America Diversity in the Geosciences Committee from 2012 to 2015, Director of the Association for Women Geoscientists Foundation, 2005–2008 and an Editorial board member of Palynology journal, 1995 to 2009. In 2010 and 2011 she was a workshop leader for 'On the Cutting Edge',[7] a professional development program for current and prospective geoscience faculty members, supported by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and funded by the National Science Foundation. Research

Her research falls under the categories of palynology and sedimentology, with the former including studies of pollen and other palynomorphs within sediments and sedimentary rocks as a proxy for biostratigraphic, palaeoecological and palaeoclimatic reconstructions.[8] She also integrates palynofacies with organic geochemistry.[9] Selected Publications
